experiment that solved problems of simulated data because used real
data with real missingness pattern with known true value;true value
was a value observed after a missing response at a certain time, which
was made to be artificially missing;most subjects had such
measurements really missing;gold standard was ability to reproduce the
known value, not performance in the final response model (or group
comparison);LOCF;longitudinal imputation;next observation carried
backward}
